light debris. Small leaves and twigs
will flow into the vacuum bag and be
mulched as they pass through the
fan housing, allowing the vacuum
bag to hold more debris. Avoid
forcing the leaf blower into a pile of
debris as this can block the unit or
the blower/vacuum tube.

If the leaf blower starts to vibrate or
make an abnormal sound, turn the unit
“Off”, unplug from power source and
